When Newport started selling their Scania N113 Striders they were picked off by a wide range of operators and have given good service on their second lives. 5 were acquired by Lough Swilly in Northern Ireland but operate almost exclusively in the Republic of Ireland. With a day or so spare I nipped over to nail these vehicles before their age becomes the downfall probably next year. Individual vehicles are often difficult to trace in the LS fleet due to the geographical spread of the company and out-basing throughout the region. With some friendly help though I did manage to track them all down. This is 523 which was originally M76KTG on its regular school contract deep in the Irish countryside one morning last week. Acquired in July 2009 it is one of 4 in the yellow livery with the 5th vehicle in cream fleet livery.
Lightweight bipedal weapons platforms. These are heavily influenced by the Gekkos from MGS, although I have changed several aspects, particularly the visual sensors (the black cluster on their noses)
Multiple exposure of some street art tribute to Elizabeth Stride at the corner of Henriques Street (formerly Berner Street where she was murdered), with the other shot being the spot where the gated entrance to Dutfield's Yard used to be (she was found murdered inside these gates on September 30 1888).

(Unknown species), Family: Gerridae
The Gerridae are a family of insects in the order Hemiptera, commonly known as water striders, water bugs, pond skaters, water skippers, or jesus bugs.
Water striders are anatomically built to transfer their weight to be able to run on top of the water's surface. As a result, one could likely find water striders present in any pond, river, or lake. Scientists have identified over 1,700 species of gerrids, 10% of them being marine.
Water striders are able to walk on top of water due to a combination of several factors. Water striders use the high surface tension of water and long, hydrophobic legs to help them stay above water.
Water striders are aquatic predators and feed on invertebrates, mainly spiders and insects, that fall onto the water surface. Water striders are attracted to this food source by ripples produced by the struggling prey. The water strider uses its front legs as sensors for the vibrations produced by the ripples in the water. The water strider punctures the prey item's body with its proboscis, injects salivary enzymes that break down the prey's internal structures, and then sucks out the resulting fluid.

The Windhover Hall inside the Milwaukee Art Museum.
